Mrs. Talley, how long have you been a teacher? 11 years
If you could eliminate one thing from your daily routine, what would it be and why? Bathroom Breaks!! It takes up a lot of time.
Where would you time-travel, if it were possible? To the future of course, I’m thinking the year 3000.
Crunchy peanut butter or smooth? Crunchy, crunchy, crunchy
What is your favorite book? Did it teach you anything? Where the Crawdads Sing, It taught me to be thankful for the things I have in life.

Mrs. Resnick, how long have you been a teacher? 4 years in the public schools
What is your favorite meal to cook and why? I am not the best cook but my husband makes the best venison chili in the fall and winter. That has become our family's warm comfort meal on cold rainy days.
Sweet, salty, or sour? I definitely have a pretty big sweet tooth especially when it comes to chocolate.
Do you have any hidden talents? What can you do? It's been awhile and I'm not sure I can very well anymore, but I used to be able to juggle. I am definitely out of practice though!
If you could teach a class on anything you wanted, what would you teach? If I could teach anything it would be Science and Reading!
